Is this a usefull knife Jess ?
It really comes down to preference. Since my knives are first and foremost utilitarian tools, I prefer the common drop-point blade found on the vast majority of pocket knives. If you like the tanto-style blade, though, it's perfectly fine. The corner of the sharpened blade makes it slightly awkward for some tasks, but probably not to the point where you couldn't accomplish any task you needed to.
Thanks for the input !!!

This pocketknife has a ricasso as well, though it takes a slightly different form:

Interesting, I never knew the name of that bit.
Though, on this it serves a purpose. It acts a stopper so the blade doesn't hit the inside when you close it. You're supposed to file it down as the blade gets thinner from sharpening.

I like that, looks to be stouter than those I use, but with the blade shape I like. Thanks for the pic!
For a proper knife from Solingen it wasn't expensive at all. They come in both regular and stainless. I think you can get them straight from the factory website too. Just google "ankermesser".

I know, I know, this is necro-posting, but I had to post this knife I found on shop goodwill.

Completely acceptable to necro-post on a thread like this.
